The confluence of events at the Naval War College has raised anew questions about our purposes and programs. As this is written, we are developing our logic for the impending Congressional field nearing at the College by a committee chaired by Congressman Ike Ske1ton of Missouri. This Committee will ask us to explain our plans to meet the requirements of the Goldwater-Nichols legislation for increased "jointness."

During the last 25 years, the United States has been the leading actor on the international stage. Responding to direct threats to global and regional peace and stability, American policymakers and military forces have been employed throughout the world to protect our interests and those of our friends and allies

Most military officers like to refer to themselves and to their occupation in terms of "professionalism." They like to consider themselves experts in a field that, according to one definition of professional, demands "advanced study in a specialized field." Indeed, the raison d'etre of the Naval War College is the professional development of of­ficers. This is, as any true professional will recognize, far too narrow a definition although advanced and continuing study throughout one's career is essential to professionalism.

The Naval War College, since the days of Capt. A. T. Mahan, has borne a special responsibility for encouraging creative thought with regard to the strategic and tactical application of maritime power. Today, the requirement for creativity and innovation is especially demanding in view of the new ships, aircraft, weapon systems, and sensors now in the fleet or entering production-all this at a time when the political, economic, and military context in which the U.S. Navy must function is changing with astonishing rapidity.
